If you need some good news this weekend, "Experimental Files", an anthology of short stories inspired by @gemmafiles.bsky.social's "Experimental Film" is now available.
Edited by Sarah Walker and Elizabeth Mitchell, all profit generated by this book will be donated to autism research efforts.
I got heartwarming good news today that I can’t share yet, but I am clinging to that good feeling like a life raft.

I was driving home from work and saw a meteor breaking up as it moved across the sky. One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. It was so big and bright I was worried it was a plane crash until I got home and checked the news.
It was in a lot of pieces. Does that mean I get to make a lot of wishes?
The Rat King rules below; the Coin King rules above. When a pickpocket proves power can be stolen, chaos reigns.

Cult of the Rat King by @inkwellmonster.bsky.social is a city crawl remaking one thief's understanding of the world one revelation at a time.

ALL IMLS grants restored in every state & territory.
In response to a ruling from a federal judge in Rhode Island, the Institute of Museum and Library Services reinstated all previously canceled grants in every state and territory. It's a huge win for libraries and our communities.
"The reinstatement of all IMLS grants means that libraries across the country will be able to resume vital services for learning, imagination, and economic opportunity. We are breathing a sigh of relief, but the fight is not over." ALA President Sam Helmick. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.
NEWS: The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored ALL previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island last month.
This is a massive win for libraries & communities in every state & territory!

“Annie Neugebauer gently takes your hand and leads you to a place where the ordinary—a walk in the woods, a trip to the dentist, painting the house, taking the stairs—becomes a poetic nightmare. And you follow willingly, because the words are so lovely. And then, when you realize something is following you, you run.”
Huge thanks to @inkwellmonster.bsky.social for these kind words for YOU HAVE TO LET THEM BLEED by @annieneugebauer.bsky.social.
Pre-orders are LIVE for what is shaping up to be one of 2026's biggest horror collections.

2) are you bleeding right now?
